Disproportionate Skills

What this company is over-indexed on vs industry peers

Location Quotient = (this company's % of postings with skill X) ÷ (peer industry's % of the same skill). Values above 1.0 mean over-indexed. Peer baseline excludes this company itself, so a dominant employer doesn't collapse to ~1.0. Skills with fewer than 3 occurrences here are excluded.

Not enough peer-company data in this industry yet to compute a Location Quotient.

Salary Positioning

Pay vs the industry baseline (USD midpoint)

Midpoint of salary_min/salary_max converted to USD via simple 2024-snapshot FX. Values outside $10k–$1M filtered as parser noise.

Market Position

Direct hiring competitors

Peers are companies in the same industry, ranked by how much their job categories overlap with this one (Jaccard score on the top 5 normalised categories). Each peer's hiring momentum is shown from the same 14-day windows.

No peers yet — peer matching needs more companies tagged in this industry. The list will fill out as YubHub's coverage grows.

Methodology & Sources

How this is computed

Last enriched: 2026-03-20.

Company-data sources: news

Hiring aggregates run live against D1; cached at the edge for up to 24 hours. AI-exposure scores derive from O*NET 30.2 occupation taxonomy crossed with the Anthropic Economic Index 2026-03-24 release.

Caveats: salary parser uses 2024 FX snapshot rates; long-tail location strings may bucket as "Unknown"; Location Quotient excludes companies with fewer than 5 indexed roles to keep ratios stable. Salary disclosure under 20% triggers a warning on the salary chart.
